New Design ‘Suzi’ Plays Well With Our Bag-E-Bottoms

posted by Joan Hawley

Lazies, Let’s get to know Suzi better. First up, here are the two sizes, medium and large. Gosh I love these new little Girls. A very clever Cassy Sanchez on Facebook called her a ‘toddler’ – I love it. We’ll also take a look at Suzi in action, organizing and corralling the goodies in my Margo Handbag. We met Suzi in last week’s blog post.

Choose the size Suzi you need based on organizing a little or a lot.
These gorgeous fabrics are ‘Habitat’ by Michele D’Amore for Benartex.

Purse InsertLet’s take a closer look at all that essential junk in my purse. It’s a party in there! Here is the purse I’m currently carrying and its contents. I usually have to move the bottom-feeders hanging around loose in my purse to make room for my stainless steel water bottle.

Here is my medium Suzi loaded with my stuffy-stuff.

Here’s Suzi going to work inside Margo. Suzi leaves enough room inside the bag to use the bag pockets, too. And now I have room for more, especially my stainless-steel water bottle.

Suzi SizesSuzi is designed to work specifically with my bag patterns, but she plays well with others, too.

Simply put, Suzi will work with all of our bags which use any of our Bag-E-Bottoms bag supports. The medium sized Suzi even fits bags that use our smallest size Bag-E-Bottom size B in purses including our Towne Purse and Veronica Pocketbook. It may be a snug fit, so consider leaving off the outside pockets for use in these bags.

Suzi Supplies
Medium Suzi uses 3 fat quarters of fabric and a bit of fusible interfacing. (Batting is not appropriate for Suzi.)
Large Suzi uses 4 fat quarters and a bit of fusible interfacing.

Ohhh YIPPEE YAY!!! I can’t wait to get this Lazy Girl Pattern. Miss Suzi is what I have been waiting for. This will make up into some GREAT Christmas gifts. “Thank You” Joan. I am a HAPPY Lazy Girl. XOXOXO

OoPs!!! In my excitement about Suzi, I forgot to ask my question. What kind of interfacing would you recommend for making Suzi? I don’t normally use medium to heavy weight fusable interfacing…so this will be a new experience for me. I would appreciate recommended brand-names that you find most useful. Thanks so much.
